If 16 shirts of equal size can be made out of 24m of cloth, how much cloth is needed for making one shirt?

Solution:

Given 16 shirts can be made out of 24m cloth.

Using the unitary method, we get

1 shirt can be made in 1 ÷ 16 × 24 = 24/16 = 3/2

Therefore, 3/2 m= 1.5m cloth is needed to make 1 shirt

✦ Try This: If 30 shirts of equal size can be made out of 100m of cloth, how much cloth is needed for making one shirt?

Given 16 shirts can be made out of 24m cloth.
